Dufry (now Avolta) (DUFNSW; Ba2, BB; S) {AVOL SW Equity}

CONSUMER CYCLICALS
NEW DEAL: AVOLTA €500M 7NC3 SNR NOTES; INVESTOR CALL TODAY
  • Use of proceeds is refi on the €800m '24's (tender out), €500m proposed size , so no net supply here. Co says will use cash on hand (CHF591m/€600m) & Revolver (€2.75b) for any excess.
  • Reminder the Avolta/Dufry curve was the floor for us on BEL's (unrated) pricing last week (priced at MS+175/€99.657 vs. our final FV of +170). Mids now -23bps/+€70c tighter & have moved through our FV/Avolta curve.
  • We continue seeing Avolta (given BEL's lack of visibility - see Wednesday note) as net better risk- those with a firm view/internal company insight on BEL's positioning in the market may disagree.
